Title: Growing Pains (2024)
Growing pains is Chan’s latest exploration into the components of domesticity that explore themes of queer longing and seeking comfort. The work uses bed slats to unpack the bed as a site of happenings within the context of a queer relationship or in solitude and contemplating one’s own identity. In broadening the context beyond a space of rest and intimacy, the bed becomes a space where a multitude of negotiations take place. As the title suggests, it contemplates the growing pains which the body undergoes at the various stages of one's life, reflecting on the fallible body, trying to tie threads of desire, grief, and tension together.
